POSITION REQUEST/CHARGES

We do our best to accommodate section requests or select a reasonable alternative. We cannot guarantee that ads of a competitive nature will always be separated.

POSITION REQUEST/CHARGES

For an additional 25% charge the Chronicle Newspaper will guarantee the page where an ad will appear, but not the position on the page. Guarantee applies only if the page is available for advertising. Color ads must be on a color page. Available color positions are not determined until the layout process is complete, so the section can be guaranteed, but not the page. Minimum position upcharge is $30.00. If guaranteed placement is not available, the ad will run without guarantee charge—regular rates will apply. 

CHURCH, CHARITABLE & ASSOCIATION RATES

Churches and public service non-profit organizations whose primary function is to raise funds for charitable causes, are given a discounted rate. Individual members of a bona fide merchant association may qualify for a discounted group rate when the association runs a promotional section. Contact your Advertising Consultant for qualifications.

CHANGING OR REJECTING COPY

On occasion, it may be necessary or appropriate for the newspaper, in its discretion, to change or reject advertising copy, with or without the advertiser’s approval. The newspaper has the right to place the designation “Advertisement” above any advertisement. The newspaper reserves the right to refuse advertising for any or no reason.

PROOF AND TEARSHEET DELIVERY

All ads will be proofed for errors by our staff. Advertisers may request that a proof be emailed, faxed or delivered to their place of business for ads larger than 5 column inches. We’ll gladly deliver or mail tearsheets of your ad to you. Electronic tearsheets will be provided upon request.

PROOF AND TEARSHEET DELIVERY

All advertising copy that represents the creative effort of The Chronicle Newspaper and/or the utilization of creativity, illustrations, labor, composition or material furnished by it is and remains the property of The Chronicle Newspaper, including all rights of copyright therein.
